Typically, high school is the time when young Eagles are maturing and are prepared to fly on their own. Encourage this independent practice. They will still need the watchful eye to guide them in their development and learning. Please do so during breaks and refrain from interrupting live instruction for the benefit of the students and teachers. The slideshow will include some additional ways you can support your learner in the virtual environment.

See You All on Sept 15th,2021 @12pm !

STEAM Portfolio Information

Our campus has been certified as a STEAM School twice so far… The Elementary Academy earned this recognition in 2017 and the Junior Academy earned the recognition in 2018 from the Georgia Department of Education.

This important designation was created to recognize institutions committed to providing high-quality educational opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. The certifications confirm Drew’s position as a statewide leader in innovative education. Of course, the marathon continues- Drew’s Senior Academy is also in the process of earning this certification next!

We began pre-COVID and with new systems in place the process has resumed. This section will highlight student work which will be submitted for STEAM CERTIFICATION. Please note, ALL SENIOR ACADEMY students will have a portfolio displayed for this certification, for additional support or to work with the STEAM team on this portfolio please reach out to

courtney.bryant@drewcharterschool.org or alisha.hester@drewcharterschool.org

Portfolios Mission:

Students will have a collection of their work and thoughts that will remain in their hands throughout their life. Portfolios can be used for college entrance applications, job applications, and scholarship applications.

Dear Drew Parents/Guardians:

The success of in-person for the upcoming school year will require that all participating families and students commit to safety and health protocols that reduce the spread of COVID-19. This includes following a mask mandate where all students and staff will wear masks on campus, practicing social distancing, washing hands regularly, and staying home when ill.

We must all diligently work to protect everyone in our community. As such, students who repeatedly and willfully do not follow health safety protocols will have to be referred back to virtual learning.

• Families who chose not to transition to in-person learning will remain under a virtual instructional model.

Greetings from the Senior Academy,

I hope each of you are enjoying your summer. I am excited for this upcoming school year and the opportunity to once again serve our students and the Drew Community as we transition back to the building. As the Senior Academy Principal, I wanted to send a sincere thank you to everyone that has been growing and learning with us in the Senior Academy. I also wanted to send a huge welcome to all of our rising ninth graders and new students to the Senior Academy. This blog will be the main source of communication and resource center to both students and parents.

Please share with your friends and/or family members. You will be able to find pertinent dates, events, and updates here on this site- weekly. With that being said, be on the lookout for future events and make sure you check out the updates below for this school year.
